Zaroff posted:It’s Threshold syndrome - there’s a very dull repeated joke about how Threshold is one of the worst things committed to celluloid, whereas in reality it’s a very average Voyager episode, with a batshit insane final 10 minutes. And then there's the tiny slice of the VOY fandom for whom it's legitimately their favorite episode.

Next time we meet Harry Kim in-universe he's head of a huge hydroponics research station putting out the Federation's dankest, and yet he's somehow still an Ensign Actually he was promoted to captain years ago, but he never remembers to put on the extra rank pips and no one wants to be the one to point it out to him.

I'm not sure that it's so much 'Voyager is important' as 'Prodigy has retroactively given Voyager more emotional resonance than it had in its first run'. Which is fine, actually - mediocre art deserves the chance to be rehabbed.

Strom Cuzewon posted:I really like the slice-of-life stuff in Dear Doctor, and Phlox's joyful outsider perspective on humanity, that's really good stuff. The best Phlox episode is Doctor's Orders, in which his T'Pol hallucination is so convincing the audience almost doesn't realize what's going on.

The problem with Archer is that he's a big important historical figure in the Trek universe, and Berman and Braga weren't up to the task of not telling his story as hagiography. I mean, there's an interesting kernel there - the middling nepobaby who has learn how to manage his mission and be an ambassador for these human up-and-comers, but instead they start him out as A Great Man who only gets better. Then when they try to break him down some in season 3, it didn't work because Bakula just couldn't seem to connect with it. edit: Literally the only interesting thing about Malcolm is his friendship with Trip, proving yet again that Trip elevates the material.

Railing Kill posted:But lol at Archer and Phlox's attempts at counseling Trip through his trauma. "Can't sleep because your family died? Have you tried erotic massage with T'pol?" Even better is in season 4 when Trip is "hey, I'm in love with T'Pol and it sucks" and Phlox is "shouldn't have caught feelings my dude" and Trip points out that the massage was Phlox's idea and Phlox is all "surely you can't blame ME for that."

I'd say split the difference and go for 15? You could safely jettison about a third of the season and not lose anything, but it was a long rear end season.

I still maintain that William Boimler's faked death to join Section 31 is a wink and nod to the ENT novel's retcon of Trip's death, so I can't help but wonder if we'll see some more of ENT references in season 4.

bennyfactor posted:Playing the same trick on Riker TWICE, drat Riker needs to be more credulous regarding the holomedia he consumes. Beeftweeter posted:i haven't read that, what do they do? Spoilering just in case: In the ENT "Season 5" novel series, Trip's death is a coverup, faked so that he can join Starfleet Intel (but mainly Section 31) to do deep cover on the Romulans, because he's one of the few people who's encountered Romulan tech, and the Romulan War is a-brewin'. So the "pirate attack" is all staged so he can disappear. The holodeck stuff Riker is watching is a part of the tampered historical record, giving an incorrect date for the events in question and taking the pirate story at face value. (The framing device for all this is that Nog, now a Starfleet Engineering bigwig, has discovered some old Constitution class engine schematics that seem to be Trip Tucker's work, but everyone knows he died!!!!) It's...not the best retcon, because Trip as an undercover agent doesn't make a ton of sense based on four seasons of characterization, but the authors were doing the best they could with they had to work with.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Someone in the writer’s room really wanted Trip and T’Pol to suffer because their last scene together in TATV is them saying they’re going to miss each other after the decommissioning. Ten minutes later, Trip’s lungs are turning into liquid and T’Pol spends the rest of the episode completely shell-shocked from the loss. Rick Berman's crimes are legion.

FlamingLiberal posted:I would be surprised if that was true, because Trip gets probably the most episodes other than maybe T'Pol over Braga's run as showrunner. Yeah, they were very open in seasons 1 and 2 about wanting Archer/T'Pol/Trip to be the new Kirk/Spock/McCoy, so the idea that they killed Trip off out of animus towards the character doesn't really track. But I do think Berman and Braga were really wedded to the idea of Archer as Super Important Historical Figure and the finale needed STAKES, so somebody had to die and Archer's too important and T'Pol's too hot, so...

DesperateDan posted:so on enterprise is archer just being captain (badly) without a dedicated XO/first officer? T'Pol was the first officer as well as science officer, which was a direct reference to the roles Spock filled on TOS. But yeah, ENT's command structure could be...squishy. quote:didn't hate "the andorrian incident" this morning but how could I hate some combs action, fairly well put together compared with what I watched so far Any ENT episode with Jeffery Combs in the guest credits is going to be a good time.

The Center Seat, a 55th anniversary retrospective series on all things Trek (at least the Roddenberry/Berman eras) is on the Roku channel right now, so my husband and I gave it a watch. It's not afraid to take a few shots at Gene for being a petty mfer who didn't like other people having better ideas than him, but it's still fairly gentle overall. Which is why the Voyager episode stands out, because even with the kid gloves on, it sounds like it was an absolutely miserable set, especially after the intro of Jeri Ryan. Some of it was external (Paramount execs being lovely, but I repeat myself), but the apparent unwillingness of Berman and Braga to manage the tensions within the cast was just production malpractice.

mllaneza posted:I've never even met my father, and the few remote communications I've had with him left me with a profound dislike. And yet The Visitor gets me every single time. It's a deeply emotional episode just on its own, but because we've spent four seasons getting to witness just deeply Benjamin and Jake Sisko love each other, in the context of the show, it's even richer. I'm not sure there's any relationship in all of Trek that comes close to the Sisko boys.
